Happy Mothers Day Mums!

Last updated on February 12th, 2015 at 12:31 pm

Well my daughter was quick off the mark and rang me last Sunday to wish me a happy mothers day.

I felt like a bit of spoilsport after I had thanked her in telling her she was a week early 🙂

She shared some lovely sentiments with me about the love and support she has felt over the last few years in our relationship.

This really was the best present.

As she recently got engaged to long term boyfriend Dean it is really nice to see her hopes being realised. She has even given me a Grand dog Tyson. He is such a cutie.

To all you Mums out there – spoil yourself for the day.

Happy Mothers Day!
